WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement highlighting recent examples of the worst illegal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in South Carolina, including those convicted for such crimes as voluntary manslaughter, assault, burglary, and drug trafficking.

"The patriots of ICE are hard at work every single day, undoing the damage from four long years of Biden's open borders," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Our ICE law enforcement officers are arresting and removing illegal aliens from all across the country, including South Carolina, where they've arrested killers, violent assailants, burglars, and drug traffickers. Arresting and deporting illegal aliens is how we protect our communities, save lives, and make America safe again."
